TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Old Fort Bay.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Old Fort Bay is a post office in Bonne-Espérance; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Old Fort Bay is located at 51.4250°N, 57.8261°W.
Old Fort Bay clings to the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, defined by the stark, imposing presence of the Escarpement du Vieux Fort. It lies 44.4 km west of Blanc-Sablon, QC (from Blanc-Sablon, QC: bearing 271°T), and is situated 9.7 km west-south-west of Bonne-Espérance. The landscape here holds a singular, salt-crusted stillness, where the grey light of the north catches the moss-covered granite and the sheltered indentations of the coastline. Just two kilometers inland, the quiet surface of Lac First Pond mirrors the shifting clouds, while the movement of the tides against the shore serves as the primary clock for those who dwell near the water. Beyond the immediate reach of the coast, the landscape opens into a vast, rocky expanse that feels both ancient and indifferent to human passage. History clings to the rocky outcrops of Old Fort Bay, echoing the centuries of seasonal labor and the hard-won survival of those who harvested the bounty of the sea. The local economy persists in a dialogue with the cold currents of the St. Lawrence, where generations have looked to the water for sustenance and industry. While the Rivière Saint-Paul winds its way through the landscape some ten kilometers distant, the people of Old Fort Bay remain centered on the immediate, bracing reality of their coastal threshold. Life here follows the bracing demands of the climate, favoring a quiet tenacity that matches the unyielding stone of the Escarpement du Vieux Fort.
Old Fort Bay s'étire le long des rivages du Saint-Laurent, là où l'Escarpement du Vieux Fort domine les eaux froides dans une immobilité minérale. À deux kilomètres de là, les eaux paisibles du Lac First Pond offrent un contraste saisissant avec la vigueur marine qui façonne depuis toujours l'existence des habitants. La Rivière Saint-Paul, serpentant à une dizaine de kilomètres, complète ce relief austère où le vent semble dicter le rythme des jours. Dans le silence du crépuscule, la lumière décline sur les rochers, révélant la persistance d'une vie tournée vers les ressources du large et la rudesse du climat. Les maisons de Old Fort Bay, modestes et solides, semblent s'accrocher à ce sol granitique, portées par une mémoire qui mêle les héritages des pêcheurs pionniers aux échos lointains des premiers occupants de cette côte. Rien ici ne cherche l'artifice, tout se concentre sur l'essentiel : le mouvement des marées, la patience nécessaire face aux glaces et la simplicité d'un quotidien rythmé par les éléments. L'air y est vif, chargé d'une odeur de sel et de terre humide, rappelant la proximité constante d'une nature indomptée qui impose son autorité silencieuse sur chaque demeure et chaque sentier.
